WATCH: Will Pucovski subs out after being struck by bouncer during Sheffield Sheild match against Tashmania

26-year-old right-hand batter from Victoria has been injured and subbed out in the Sheffield Shield match against Tasmania on March 3 in Hobart. He was struck on his head by fast bowler Riley Meredith's bouncer.

Pucovski has not had a good time on the cricket field for a year. He struck on his head a dozen times in his career. He was facing his second ball and struck on his head by Meredith’s bouncer. Everybody on the ground was shell-shocked. He immediately fell down on the pitch. The medical team of Victoria went to the ground quickly and after some time Pucovski retired out for concussion.
